Watch for your 2025 Open Enrollment Confirmation Statement mailed to your home the first week in December. Your Confirmation Statement will include your 2025 benefits enrollment and paycheck deductions, information on your covered dependents and your beneficiary designations.

If any information on your Confirmation Statement is incorrect, you will have until December 20, 2024 to report it to the Benefits Service Center. You can speak to a Benefits Service Center Agent Monday-Friday, 6 a.m to 6 p.m. Arizona time by calling 888-255-2269 option 2, then option 2 again.

  • Pending Action for Newly Enrolled Dependents: If you enrolled any dependents for the first time during Open Enrollment, you must provide documentation verifying their eligibility. You can download a Dependent Verification Requirements Flyer which lists the allowable documents you can submit to verify your dependent’s eligibility to be covered under Albertsons healthcare plans. Dependent verification must be completed by January 31, 2025. If you miss the deadline, your unverified dependents will not be covered in 2025.

    2. Complete an online Personal Health Application (PHA) between December 9 and December 20 on The Hartford website.
